(Both KDE 4.3.3 under F11 and KDE 4.3.3 > under F12 gave me the full list of devices, including non-PA ones...) Yes, new as of our kde-4.3.4 builds (this same support is/will-be in kde-4.4 upstream). You should also get the full list of real devices if you have the PA device- manager module loaded. If this isn't available, you'll now only is PulseAudio. The logic being if PulseAudio is loaded, none of the other devices are available or usable anyway, so why bother to display them? This is all outlined/explained in Colin Guthrie's recent blogs on the topic. -- Rex
